The Good Samaritan Revisited

When telling the story of the good Samaritan Jesus was speaking to the Jews.  The Jews despised the Samaritans. The good Samaritan was part of the despised group not the other way around. (It is amazing that people get this wrong but they do, I am writing this because I just read some writing about it that was wrong.) The act of love was toward the despising not toward the despised group which is more powerful and perplexing.

It is as if he said in 1950 USA, a white man traveled to a southern town and on the read he was robbed and black man came along and bought him clothes and put him up at a hotel. (That always reminds me that John Brown was saved from drowning by a black man.)

At the end of the story he says go and do likewise. I think that he means even those who despise you are your neighbors and should be treated with love!

Also note that the same Jesus said the poor will always be with and advocated some charity toward them but the Jew who was robbed in the story of the good Samaritan was not poor but a person who fell into a calamity.

The story is far more interesting that many think.

The one who gave the charity was in the despised group. The act of love was toward to despising group which is more powerful and perplexing. It is as if he said in 1950 USA, a white man was robbed and black man came along and bought him clothes and put him up at a hotel. At the end of the story he says go and do likewise. I think that he means even those who despise you are your neighbors!
Also note that same Jew said the poor will always be with and advocated some charity toward them but the Jew who was robbed in the story was not poor but fell into a calamity.
The story is far more interesting that you described it.
